The training course aims to impart students with theoretical knowledge and practical skills to enable them to make fully standardised, accurate surface meteorological observations. It enables students to observe and note the parameters that make up METAR and MET report meteorological messages, encode the observations in a standard format and transmit the coded information.
The course is aimed at any Air Traffic Services personnel, whose duties include performing meteorological observations e.g. TWR controllers, AFIS operators, TWR assistants, Apron controllers, etc.
The course is compliant with the recommendations of the guidelines for the education and training of personnel in meteorology and operational hydrology - requirements of WMO (World Meteorological Organisation) for aeronautical meteorological personnel. It is approved by the regulator - Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI).
